Phonedog just chose E4GT over Nexus

Just watched a video on YouTube and Aaron from Phonedog chose our E4GT over the new Nexus with ics.

Glad you posted it. Made me released a lot of things i was overlooking. It is sometimes hard to accept we have the best.

The only thing it had over our phone is ICS.

I refuse to go to phonedog after they sued their former writer for his personal twitter account (they wanted to spam his followers).
Leo Laporte, who actually owns both phones, recommended the epic touch over the nexus on his Before You Buy Show.
It is really what is more important to you, hardware (epic touch) or software (nexus).

not to mention hardware is static vs software hey give it a few months

I just read about this, very lame. I like Aaron, and think he does a great job. Heck, I dig Sydney and her Dog Pound show. But after this, I am going to have to re-evaluate my entire life.....lol.

I don't think you can blame the employees on what the company does, doubt either of these two had the management input in whether suing the previous employee.

I know, hence the "lol" at the end. I do believe it's a bad move though, but I can kind of see that those 17k followers were potential traffic to the site, which means more advertiser money. Honestly though, I hope they drop it, or Noah just changes his twitter name.

Cool video. on the network speeds. I'd rather not see so clearly how slow sprint speeds are so I can live in my happy phone land.

The only disagreement I'd have is that there is one other thing the Nexus has on our phone:
That is one beautiful screen...

thanks for the vid, like the other posters I as well overlooked a couple of things. Our phone has amazing specs and it holds its own against other high end android phones and the fruit phone. But i'm not going to lie that lte is pretty sick!

the area where phonedog is located just seems to have terrible sprint coverage where as if you look at wirefly reviews, sprint 4g gets over 10mbps. that's why I think reviews should be done with wifi instead of carrier signal (phonedog uses 3g for their reviews).

My thoughts on the two phones:
GNexus
Pros:
Great Screen/Resolution
Ice Cream Sandwich
Verizon Network (BLAZING 4G speed compared to Sprint/T-Mobile out here)
Cons:
No expandable memory (but 32GB for LTE model is solid)
Usable screen space - When the menu buttons are visible, it has less physical screen real estate than the E4GT from my hands-on comparison (ignoring resolution advantage).
Awkward shape and "taller" than the E4GT
"Feel" is lacking
Lackluster hardware
E4GT
Pros:
Expandable memory
Shape and Feel
Faster GPU
Cons:
Touchwiz, Touchwiz, and Touchwiz (Which is OK for 2.3, but not ICS IMO)
No Official Ice Cream Sandwich Yet - And when we do get it it will be Touchwiz-burdened
Sprint Network
The only real advantage for me when comparing the two phones was Ice Cream Sandwich. I did not care for the feel of the LTE GNexus and was not happy with Verizon (did not like the price, limited data, or the sales people), so I gave Sprint my business instead and ended up with the E4GT. I LOVE this phone, I just wish that the Sprint network was a bit more robust out here in Colorado.
My two cents anyway.

I think the screen on the ET is much better than the screen on the nexus. the nexus has more pixels but thats it.
as for the other cons I don't get it. First thing I did was ditch touchwiz. that is a "user option" not a con. install whatever launcher you want.
Sprint may be slower but its cheaper and its truly unlimited.
what is the point of 20MB/s if you use up all your available bandwidth in a few days? or even HOURS ?
I am confident sprint will "fix up" the bandwidth issues.
as for verizon they are irrelevant. moot. I can't afford the monthly bill so its a non issue.

If I spent that much money on a GNex, and then took it home and ran a ~1600 quadrant score, I'd wanna just vomit all over myself.
(Yeah, I know the old mantra: "quadrants don't mean sh*t", but still: there's gotta be a lot of credit given to the exynos processor to crank out ~4500 scores right out of the box.)

Is anyone getting the HTC one?

I think that there is a quad core HTC one s coming out for the Tmobile line of phones. Anyone getting it, more undoubtedly there is an gs blaze being released add an addition to the galaxy s series of phones which is a hype looking at how we already have an original s and s2 all this does is make the galaxy s team further.

Do you really want to stay on the samsung boat? Android 5.0 is going to be launched this year, and youll have to wait 4+ months for an update again. When i jump shop, its to a phone with a running non-beta CM9. Its clear this phone has nothing in terms of CM and waiting till summer for ICS is simply pathetic on Samsungs part.

That's what I'm saying. This will probably be my last carrier subsidized phone period. Waiting on Samsung and then waiting on the carrier is a joke. This phone has been a big disappointment. I like the phone, but its like the red headed step child of the galaxy phones. This along with the skyrocket. I stopped waiting on ICS a while ago. Samsung is so hush mouth about updates. Makes you think they will do anything to get you to buy another phone. No thanks Sammy.
When we finally get ICS it will be dated and the next best thing will be out. By then the gsII will be yesterdays news. Google really needs to be more like Apple with updates. They are starting to leave a bad taste for me. This may sound like a rant but its true.

i wouldn't go HTC until they go back to making quality phones. They went downhill lately with crappy battery life and cheap lcd displays. just like how samsung had a slump until the gs2's got released

I'm looking at the Asus Padphone or the SGS3, depending on which one comes out with an AWS or Pentaband version.

The HTC one x is the one with the quad-core

Asus has been quite good on updates with their current devices. If they keep that up id consider asus products in the future.
But at this point, im so sick of the android fragmentation that its either gonna be the google phone, or an iphone. Windows phones are starting to look more and more tempting to, specially with Windows 8 coming and whatever integration they have planned.
Even the google phones might get screwed on the CDMA side, and my carrier is CDMA only.
But its become quite clear that they havent finished ICS for the intl GSII, and probably havent started ours even. The CM team has nothing either. Have heard rumors that Cyanogen himself uses a T989 but i really doubt it, cause wed have an alpha at least.

Been using wp7. For the last two 1/2 months and although the apps aren't there yet, its been a refreshing change from all this ICS mess. Once T-Mobile comes out with a 4.3 or higher screen size, I will probably make a full switch.
I miss some of my apps and games though. Then again my ps3 takes care of the gaming issue. Wp7 runs so much smoother. Its nice to take a break from android.

Convince me to buy the GNex

5 months into my 2 year contract with my S2 and running Cyanogenmod 9. I really like AOSP and wish I got the Galaxy Nexus. Right now, I can sell the S2 for £240 and get the GNex for £370. But I can't justify the £130 difference. All I would get is a working camcorder and and an amazing screen for poorer battery life, camera and no sd support.
Convince me.

Don't buy it, especially if you need convincing to actually buy it :-/.

Nah, seriously... there is already a lot of information and comparatives between both phones... so... just take a little time researching and you´ll find your answer.

You're making the biggest in your entire life to buy this phone! why do you need it in the first place?
NOTE : before buying it , prepare your Funeral first and then the extra remaining money , you can use it to buy the Gnex because after buying it you may have a heart attack!!

Anybody asking to be convinced to buy anything, might also like being told what to do. Get an iphone.

Convince yourself and and if the gnex isn't for you then good luck

i had an S2 and sold it earlier in the year as i got a free Xperia Ray which i thought i'd be happy with but yesterday i got a really good deal on a mint Nexus.. and i couldnt be happier. Battery life seems pretty much consistent with my S2, i left it charged over night, took it off charge at 6.15 and im at 52% now, thats with listening to music on the way to work and some web browsing and probably a little more than average playing with it as its new. I am pretty happy with that. The Ray for such a small phone was actually worse for me in terms of battery life.. maybe it was the widgets etc I had installed.
As for advantages over the s2? for me its the missing Samsung logo from the front never liked that.. and there is a nice feeling to knowing its a 'pure' android experience.. my S2 was full of bloatware that could only be deleted by rooting. I dont take pictures really with the phone so im not in anyway dissapointed with the camera on the nexus. It is a little bulkier than the s2 but i like the shape and feel.. i cant imagine using a bigger phone though.. its the full of my hand when holding it..
in terms of performance i cant see there being much in it between the s2 and this..
Its all down to individual preference really.. a few s2 owners i've showed it to say they would miss the physical home button etc.. and the headphone socket on the bottom means you need to turn it upside down in your shirt pocket..
Also the lack of sd slot is a downside.. i dont mind it.. but it would have been nice to have the option to stick a 32gb card in there.. or at least make 32gb the standard internal memory..
So far no complaints..

{Sprint} Why Galaxy Nexus over the Evo LTE

Both phones are giving me the itchy trigger finger, and the phone's release dates are only a month apart. So I pose a question to the current G-nexus owners. What's the reasoning on choosing a device that is less superior and both selling for the same price?

I'm a nerd, So I like the idea of NFC and google wallet. Also, I wanted a pure google device. I hate that HTC is always the last to get updates and the first to add bloatware. If I was to look at another device, it would be the S3

If it s dual core evo, I would say just get the nexus

I am in the same boat here. As I see it I have three options. Stick with my Evo 3D, get a Gnex, or get a Evo 4G LTE. Right now getting a Gnex is looking good .

Super Amoled screen is better in my opinion. It's much more beautiful.
The Gnex is going to receive Android updates a lot sooner than the EVO.
HTC (in my cases) appear to drain battery quicker than any other manufacturer.

Why get a phone that will have a locked boot loader and wait until they release the unlock or wait months for someone to crack it ....no thanks

This is the same reason I went from a HTC 3d to the Gnex .... HTC is too good at locking down a bootloader. Some of the latest HTC phones need a jump wire to root them! That, to me, is crazy.

I loved my original Evo, but changing to the Nexus S, then to the Galaxy Nexus was the best thing I ever did. Nexus phones are a million times better, whether you leave them stock and unrooted, or you like rooting and roms. There's just so many advantages to Nexus phones.

Get the Nexus.
The new Evo will likely break easily, be laggy, and get updates 6 months later.
Also, developer support.

I hope to also get the Evo 4G LTE as well if all goes according to plan. I want both devices, but if I had to pick one it would be very hard for me. Yes, the GNex will get updates the soonest and there is a lot of support, but I still like Sense and developing for it. I know lots of my EVO 3D guys are getting the LTE and have asked me to make a ROM.
The new processor in the LTE might only be dual core, but it is a monster. I think it will be a good phone and it will be all about preference.

Coming from an evo3d to gnex i will tell you i will never buy another htc phone in my life. The smooth vanilla ics is amazing. No root problems (so easy to root), you dont have to worry about having a certain hboot to flash kernels and such, Plus the evo lte is kinda ugly imo.

I wish development would pick up for the spring gnex tho!

It depends on what you want... The GNex will get official updates to Jelly Bean and, more likely than not, Key Lime Pie. The Evo, on the other hand, will be lucky to get Jelly Bean at all, and KLP is almost out of the question. Also, the GNex, like all Nexus devices, has first-rate dev support. If software is important to you, then there really is no other option-- the Nexus is sovereign!

Really? Been a long 7 days for ya, huh? Not enough that we got our Odin restore, a new leaked build with new radios, EOS, CM9 Kang, JakROM, TWRP, and being able to flash any custom kernel on the Gnex forum? All within 5 days of the official release. I think we're off to a great start.

Sprint users who switched from EVO LTE to Galaxy S3 - Chime in!

Just would like your thoughts and opinions... I'm on the fence between EVO 4G LTE or Galaxy S3.

Evo lte has better camera, sgs iii has 2gb ram.
Pretty much the only difference.

I didnt find the camera on the evo better. The phone its self just dosent feel as smooth. The battery was horrible and its just ugly lol. The s3 is just a more complete phone imo. And im not alone.

The only reason I switch was because of the network I went with tmobile and got the galaxy s3, the evo felt like the right device ,camera is better on the evo IMO, and specs says it as well,the only thing I hated the much in the eco is the multitasking is useless and will closed apps really soon, if you like accessories and to root I would go with the the gs3,so far this phone has a great community ,even got cm10 already running and accessories will keep coming and coming since is one device in all networks, the evo had better battery life in my testing but it could be cause it closed a lot app in the background
This is why I like tmobile

I can't really think of a single good thing about evo lte which is better than sgs3. Maybe that it's slightly thinner...

I had the HTC EVO LTE for a week and returned it for the S3, I have not had a single regret since. My biggest complaint on the HTC was multitasking, I would stream music and open one app, this would usually go OK, on the second app the music would stop. ERRR.
It's incorrect to say it's due to the S3 2gb or ram either my previous phone, the hugely inferior VM Optimus could handle this, sure it started to lag but at least the music didn't just stop.
This was my main issue, but in almost all other aspects the s3 has been better in my opinion.

I just sold my Evo LTE today on eBay. It was a good device but the S3 is superior overall. The Evo is also easily prone to bending due to its design but it never happened to mine since I always took care of it. Both devices have great cameras. The screen on both is excellent but it's really just personal preference. HTC also takes a while releasing its source which makes it harder for developers to work their magic. Samsung is developer friendly

I would say go try them both out and see which one you like more. You're posting this in a galaxy s3 forum, of course the majority will say gs3. If you go post it in the one x forum, then you'll probably get the majority saying one x.
It depends on what you need out of the phone and which feels nicer. The one x has a brighter screen and a little nicer camera. The gs3 has a nicer battery(in my experience, though it varies by phone) and it is removable, along with an SD card slot and 2 gb of ram. One has touchwiz and one has sense 4.
Good luck on your choice, they're both amazing phones, I'm sure you'll be happy with either of them.

Multitasking on the evo is painful, worse than my old evo 4g. Gs3 is way smoother and has a better community.

I made the switch. The build quality is better on the Evo and I would argue screen is more natural but not as vibrant. Everything else is vastly superior on S3.

thanks guys. I actually posed the question on both EVO and S3 forum. Looks like i'm leaning towards s3!

Came from an og evo and an evo 3d to the s3 I just wanted to try something else, however the evo lte screen looks unbelievable

another dead horse!

Tried the EVO LTE for 3 days and went back to the ET4g, then to the GS3. Screen size was the "seller" for me. Definite difference. The HTC seemed out of proportion too long and narrow. Maybe I'm just picky... JMO.
I'd definitely actually handle a couple of live phones to see which you like better, good luck.

+1 evo was definitely too narrow, main reason why I switched to the s3

Evo lte has better camera, sgs iii has 2gb ram.
Pretty much the only difference.

camera app is better yes, but the camera on the s3 is slightly better. I've done my own comparison with my brothers phone and i saw a side by side comparision online. Siii looked a bit better. Video was much better.

+1 I use the macro mode a lot and it was far better on the S3. Photos from the S3 cam always come out clear and with great detail.

S3 all the way!!!! HTC support as in software updates and what not suck. I agree on the build on the lte evo is better (or it seems) but i love my S3. Had the lte evo for 3 days returned it and never looked back!
